area to assess and support as the legislation allows. This is
different from any hotel accommodation for asylum seekers which is
not a service paid for or managed by the District Council. There
are currently no such hotels in the Fenland area. The costs
incurred on the Council over cumulative years means that it is a
Cabinet decision to approve the outcome of the procurement
process.
